It's official now. I have a stray orange tabby in my yard. I fed it the other day. Today, it was on my deck and came to me when I called. It has no collar and it's coat is a little mangy. But it let me pet it so it was somebody's pet. In my neighborhood, all pets have collars and are pampered, so it is a stray. Plenty of cat doors and outside food for a stray, though.
I called our shelter and they said if I could capture it, I should bring it in. Then there are 3 days to wait before you can claim it and they will look for a microchip. My family says not another cat, but I do know two women who lost there orange tabby - not the same one because theirs had a freckle on its nose - so I left a message for them if they wanted another tabby.
I feel terrible about bringing the cat into the shelter which is where we got Butzie but it is a wonderful no kill shelter and there are lots of rescue cat families around here.
Please send me some vibes that all works out for the cat. I am so distraught!
